“J-Ville”: A golfer’s paradise Jacksonville - The best-kept secret in Northern Florida

Located in Northeast Florida, at the crossroads of two transcontinental highways, Jacksonville is a golfer's dream - great golf, great weather, and great value. It’s the state’s largest city in land area, a major port, the insurance and financial centre of the state, and it is the home of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars.

A mid-sized city with an enviable waterfront setting, Florida’s first coast is a surprise package for every traveling golfer. With average daily temperatures of 70 degrees, golfers can hit the links nearly every day. And there is no dearth of playable courses here. Jacksonville lays claim to 68 golf courses, most of which are available to the golfing public. Home of the PGA Tour Headquarters, and the World Golf Village that houses the PGA Hall of Fame, Jacksonville is the eastern seaboard’s best-kept secret.

Jacksonville is mostly sandy soil and pine trees, which is least suited to agriculture, but yields some great golf courses. Though most courses of the First Coast generally require accuracy above all other elements of the game, there's enough variety in this significant golf pie to keep every golfer satisfied.
